A cool guy mentioned a cool thing about the Mass Effect work history backgrounds. The idea stuck with me, so I wanted to take a stab by writing a 100-word bit that tied in the idea.

Perhaps it was fate, or luck, but a friendly face in uncharted territory reminds someone of what they're fighting for. A little bit of home in the unknown to make six-hundred years seem like it was only a nap on a warm summer's day. And even if Vetra never loved her the way that Salrixa loved her friend, at least they could be there for one another through the tough times. SPOILERS

Reyes knew all about the Pathfinder before he ever met her. He knew all about her supposed exploits and triumphs in the name of the Initiative, knew all about the alliances she'd secured and the trails she'd blazed. He'd expected the bravado and charisma - he hadn't expected the crooked grin that was as much an offer as it was a promise. [f!Ryder/Reyes]

God, she really couldn't stand his eyes on her.

Between the events of ME 1 and 2, a human-turian initiative is set up, with the purpose of furthering relations between the two species after the First Contact war. One Alliance squad on Arcturus Station is joined by a turian, how will they fare with the added responsibility of diplomacy breathing down their necks? And why are they stuck babysitting ambassadors on the Citadel?

/"Why me?" she had asked once. "You're a hero to this man and women." "I'm just a soldier like them." "You might see yourself like this… but they don't."/ This bond that ties us together is something the Reapers will never understand. It's more powerful than any weapon. Stronger than any ship. It can't be taken or destroyed./ I'll meet you across the sea.

Quality bonding time and air-clearing between the Ryder twins. Game spoilers. (mentioned Bro!Ryder/Gil)

"Still waiting around for her." Umi doesn't bother framing it as a question anymore, they both know he is. Like some lovesick fool. He feels like a lovesick fool, and the more the days pass, the more he's come to accept it. A short Fem!Ryder x Reyes Vidal fic

My take on what happens to Shepard, her crew, and the galaxy when the refusal ending is chosen.

Waking up on Eden Prime is not how I wanted to spend my weekend. Stranded in a strange new world with stranger characters, I skirmish with Shepard against Saren in a epic struggle to survive. When one's reality is warped and the pressures of the Galaxy are closing in on them, can they deal? Probably. Rated T for Profanity.

The Reaper War exposed deep contradictions in asari society, but in the aftermath, the fight to survive delayed any resolution. Now, over a decade later, a former Cerberus operative and a renegade asari maiden must find a way to stand for justice amid the fires of revolution. Adventure, drama, science fiction, and a surprising romance. Part of the Memoirs continuity.

Friendly bonding over battlefield prowess between Ashley and Garrus leads to a surprising epiphany.

With the Normandy crashed and crippled on an unknown world, and with Shepard almost certainly dead, Tali wonders how she can go on without him. Two-shot.

It's been three years since the war with the Reapers ended and Commander Maven Shepard -the Steel Bitch to some- was still haunted by nightmares. Aria T'Loak heard her silent cry for help and chose to be the Commander's shelter against the nightmares. Rated K. Aria T'Loak X Female Shepard
